Liberals should be ashamed at their treatment towards teachers

Everyday when you read the paper or watch the news you hear
the same old crap over and over again. “Bad teachers using students as pawns”
or “Unions holding children hostage”.

What I find more pathetic than anything is how people who
make less than teachers are speaking out, demanding these evil teachers do what
they’re told because they make a decent salary.

Let me guess, because teachers earn a higher wage than most,
they should just bend over and take it like a good Canadian? Nonsense!

Let us take a minute and get a few things straight here. It
was the Liberal government who did this to the students. Sure, the teachers are
the ones who are taking job action and have the target on their back from
parents and those who envy their job.

But who put them in this situation? You don’t think the
Liberals knew this would happen? They screwed over the teachers knowing who was
going to take the hit from the general public. Is it the majority’s opinion
that teachers do what they’re told and stop complaining?

If your company slashed your wages and benefits, what would
you do? Is it okay for you to go into a store, put money down on an item then
when you showed up, the store was charging you more, all because they looked at
the books and decide they need a greater bottom line? Didn’t think so. And why?
Because you had an agreement, or a contract, that you believed to be true.
Right?

Should they wait until their next collective agreement and
work things out then?

Not likely. There was a legal document in place now, why would
anyone think if they agreed on a new contract the government wont jump in and
slash it again down the road. We should ask ourselves why the Liberals did this
and to me there is only one simple answer, the government did this to the
teachers much like why a dog licks themselves….because they can.

The teachers union and the government had legally binding
collective agreements in place. For those of you that still don’t get what one
is, it’s a legal contract between two parties. That’s why it is called collective.

Part way through this C.A., the government decides they need
more money and targets a group where they can capitalize on money saved, while
at the same time deflecting the wrath of the public away from themselves.

What people don’t understand is this whole mess is a
catastrophic failure of an attempt by the Liberals. What they did is illegal.
If the government thinks what they did was right, fast track it through the
courts. But they wont.

This wasn’t the first time a government has attempted this type
of chaos and every time they do, they fail.

If it’s okay for all of this to be allowed, answer this one
simple question. When the NHL gets back and two years later the owners decide
they need more money, can they rip up the old C.A. and reduce the players
salaries?
